Balloch:
A wee toon on the Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond in Dunbartonshire Scotland. It is where the River Leven meets Loch Lomond (the biggest loch in Scotland), popular with tourists and locals who enjoy hiking, boating and a few confused ones who come looking for the monster.
A famous folk song was written for the Balloch area:


You tak the high road an' I'll tak the low
an' I'll be in Scotland afore ye

For me an' my true love will ne'er meet again
on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

I live in Marianna, Florida. It's TECHNICALLY Florida, but it's so close to Alabama that it might as well just be a part of Alabama. It's hot, redneck-y, and there people down here who actually LIKED Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen. Hell on earth.
You Americans don't realise how lucky you are...
To not have to put up with chavs would be a truly beautiful thing.
We have chavs here too(had to urban dictionary that word to see what it meant). Here we just don't have a nickname for them. They're just douchebags.

Canada, so we've got 3 months of good summer and then cold/winter. I like the winter however, it can be fun if you go into it with the right mindset. Sledding, skiing, snowboarding as well as snowball fights are all great amusement.

Not on the scale that we do. You don't have chavved up novas revving along the street at about 10 mph. I never really understoof how bad it was until I went to florida.. a whole 2 weeks without having any abuse hurled at you.. it's like paradise.

I live in a boring little village full of rich pampered idiots (well except for the little bit I live in that was around for years before they started building huge private estates everywhere), its nice enough but really dull and cut off from everywhere by motorways.

Newfoundland

The only place in the entire world where kids got to leave school early to watch the 2006 Olympic curling game. Also the only place where people actually watched the 2006 Olympic curling game at all.

Newfoundland is one of the first places in Canada to get new technology after it's been released.

The most easterly province in Canada, also is home to the most Easterly Point in North America (Cape Spear). The provincial animal is the Puffin, but it should be the Moose! (even though it was only introduced in the 70's). Rich in cultural heritage, and it's natives are the proudest people in the world, as well nicest, and hard working. The women are beautiful and plentiful. It has a breed of dog named after it, Newfoundland Dog. It has the most bars per capita in Canada ... George Street. Here is where you can find the infamous Newfie Screech. The actual Screeching in ceremony is one that is practiced hundreds of thousands of times a year, both in Newfoundland and abroad.

Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949.

Kissimmee, FL

Hot. Muggy. Storms without fail every Summer afternoon regardless of whether or not there is a single cloud in the sky. Full of Hispanics who have no problems suddenly talking Spanish to others around you even though they were in the middle of an English conversation with you, and an awful lot of homeless people even though there's not a homeless shelter any closer than Orlando. Tons of traffic, even more sheriffs, roads that refuse to go in one direction straight for more than a quarter of a mile, and no relief from the heat or claustrophobia for at least an hour's drive away.

In other words, aside from Disney, t3h suck. :( I miss my beachside home...

Tallinn, EE

Has a medieval city that has been preserved over the centuries. Otherwise a pretty generic town. No stereotypes are more common here than any other, public transport sucks, outer city's full of Russians, who came here while the Soviet Union still reigned and now they've stayed (whining that they don't like that we use Estonian language in...*gasp* Estonia! Can you imagine it? Russian must be used worldwide) and those areas are generally more crime ridden.
Inner city has hotels, big malls, parks, things the outer city lacks.

That's pretty much it, I guess.

Well you know by the same token I've ALWAYS wanted to visit the UK(so I can formally thank the entire country for Emma Watson). So I guess that this just makes the point that everyone hates where they live. LOL.

I'm sure it's not that out of the way. In Colorado there is a town called No Name, that town is out of the way.

Grand Junction: Blazing hot in the summer, freezing in the winter. Half the town is protected federally as a national landmark.

I wish I lived in Colorado Springs though, because then I'd be close to Cheyenne Mountain.

Cookie if you get the reference.

Vermont:

A state for all the stoners to retreat to. Vermont is hippie heaven, head shops, woods, mountains, kick ass skiing and riding. Though somewhat like a vortex when driving (everything looks the same, not that that is a bad thing).

Wollongong, NSW, Australia

Main city in Australia, south of Sydney, that did indeed used to be nice, but is now swarming/over-crowded with racists and tools. Featured attractions include:
The Cancer cluster at Port Kembla.
Australia's primary heroin import docks, also in Port Kembla.
The resident heroin junkies at Crown Street Mall.
The resident heroin junkies at Denison Street.
The resident heroin junkies at New Dapto Road.
A large demonic portal that channels all the corruption of the world and distils it in the form of the Local Council.
A smaller demonic portal, also channelling corruption, but funnelling it towards the monopoly that owns every single nightclub in the town, with the exception of one on Crown St, which is soon to be demolished by aforementioned monopoly anyhow (by order of aforementioned corrupt Council).

Cute girl from Sydney: "Where are you from?"
Guy from Wollongong: "Wollongong."
Cute girl from Sydney:


I've just moved here as well. Damn Urban Dictionary and damn my curiosity. Damn them both to pus-spewing blood-gutted hell.

When I searched for it, I was rather impressed actually, at least by the accuracy.
First result was the school, and the second was apparently an essay.
[Lakewood Ranch]
a school full of std-ridden kids that like to get messed up on drugs all the time
there are the git-r-dunnssss
the preppies, jocks and jesus children
the stoners
and then all the lesser beings that no one talks to

most of lakewood ranch's students have some sort of disease
and a lot of money


[Bradenton]
If you come to bradenton, you may get easily get sucked into the drug dealers way of life since it is such a lucrative "business" in this town. There are rich neighborhoods all over the place that lie within 2 miles of a street full of trap houses. Finding any drug you could think of in this town is as easy as going to the shell station on cortez and asking the first person you see.Beer is sold at every store located here, including all grocery stores and even the 3 Super Walmarts. Everyone knows everyone and everyone also knows atleast 3 people that died of a drug overdose in Bradenton. Homeless crackheads lie on ever main intersection holding up cardboard signs saying, "I'm not gonna lie I need BEER" Bradenton is full of good green, good drugs, hot crazy girls and out of control parties. If you move here you will leave either a convicted felon, alcoholic, drug dealer, drug addict or former member of mantee glens. The Walmarts, Target, AppleBees,Bada-Bings, The Distllery and the Peek A Boo are among the "hot-spots" in B-Town. If you were born and raised here, you are most likely not one to be messed with and the girls here are some of the most "gangster" you will find.

What they forgot to mention is the disgustingly hot & muggy summers.
The mild, mild winters if you can even call it a winter.

Not to mention the old people. LOTS OF THEM.
Yes, the Florida stereotype is true. Especially here.

EDIT: Searched Florida for fun, quite humorous.
The godforsaken Sunshine State renowned for weather and beaches. Florida is noteworthy for having no discernible season changes. Well-known for its subpar education system, Florida is home to Florida State University, a party school known for its football team and its acceptance of anyone who has a pulse and can spell his or her own name correctly. The population here is an amalgam of inhabitants from elsewhere; if you wish to find a retired New Yorker, go to any one of Boca Raton's 5,000 retirement communities; if you want to find a Latino/Hispanic/person whose first language is Spanish, turn around. Florida is a geographic anomaly in that the farther north you travel, the more Southern it seems (and sounds like), and the farther south you go, the more it seems like Cuba (as evidenced by the Little Havana area of Miami). Still, Florida, as a whole, is without an easily recognizable dialect. All place names here are either of Spanish (Punta Gorda, Boca Ciega) or Native American (Tallahassee, Econolockhatchee River) origin, or contain the word "orange" in them. Florida decor has inexplicably come to mean "a seafoam green and pink couch with a watercolor pelican painting." Floridians are not known for good taste; also missing are driving skills, especially in the frequent rain, and voting know-how.
-"Florida's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here."
-"Bah! Go back to New York, you snowbird."


Also, this image came up. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. It's pretty typical.

I live on the outskirts of beautiful Knoxville Tn. On a piece of clear cut land on top of a hill with clear view of the mountains. UT and knoxville are a 25 min drive away. The great Smokey mountains are 25 min away, there are 3 lakes and the TN river 15 min away. It's quiet, peaceful the people are nice (except for alcoa where all the minorities live)(not being racist just able to read crime reports :p ) The only thing that sucks are the Sheriffs dept. and city government.

Jersey City 165up, 46downA large city in northeastern New Jersey (Hudson County). Some view it as a slum, others view it as an average large urban area teeming with urban people. There are different districts: the Heights, Downtown, Journal Square, Westside, Greenville area, etc. Also known as Chilltown, JC, 201, Dirty Jersey, etc. One of the most diverse cities in the United States. Somewhat rough and coarse with words and actions, but the residents do not notice due to its frequency. And yes, it would be best to do what the Romans do when in Rome. 1: Where are you from? 2: Jersey City. 1: Tsk. Heard about that place.

Thats pretty accurate. Its also full of wiggers.

I was not aware urbandictionary had descriptions of places. Anyway, as for my town I only get the one famous for the last Revolutionary War battle, but as for my county I get some very accurate and pleasing results.

I'll pick the best one to share.

Westchester
The county north of New York City, sometimes referred to as the "East Coast OC", this county boasts a strong history, culture, and an absurd amount of wealth. The southern half of the county is more suburban, while the northern half, while more rural, is certainly as affluent, and cannot be discounted. Yonkers is the largest city in the county, and is currently making a huge economical comeback, though it is still plagued by issues with the school district. Westchester is home to many celebrities and some of the best public schools in the country. Whether one hails from Scarsdale or Somers, they are Westchester-ites---and ultimately, Westchester is one of the most intriguing parts of the state and country to look at from a sociological and cultural standpoint.

According to Urban Dictionary

Harrogate
The spa town in the north of yorkshire. rather wealthy and pretty. contains a vast amount of townies/trendies, a few (posh) chavs, and secretive goths/moshers who only come out at night. is home to the valley gardens which, by day, is a nice place to relax and have fun in the park, but by night, is very dark and you are more likely to get raped or stabbed than to have a nice time in there.

Pretty much...

Well my town isn't defined in Urban dictionary, but if I had to sum it up in one word; I'd say, nowhere.

But if I had to go into more detail I'd say something like, urrr... Cratfiled is a small hamlet in the middle of nowhere, all most all of the people are old fashioned Christians with immense prejudice. The only building of any interest is the pub, and the landlord there is a dick head anyway.

Also, if this image says anything about how completely lame my city is, here's a picture of the new water tower they just built.

Hell aka Eufaula, Alabama


It's hot, it's humid, I'm surrounded by people I hate, and I don't know why I'm here.

Here's the Urban Dictionary entry:

a hellhole of a town in alabama
